The color coded sensors are used in CyberMaster. Code Pilot uses the normal
sensor.

Yes, it is a resister, connected in parallel with the switch, so you can read
the resistance value when the switch is not pressed. See
<http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=6568> for more details.
Also, see <http://www.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=6591> for one experimental result
of connecting three color-coded touch sensors in series to the same RCX input
port.
